FANCY CATTLE.
Enough to Restock the Entire
Northwest With Few Years

Northwest with q Few Years
Breeding.
The live stock is not all on the grounds
though the ten large buildings devoted
to the cattle and horse departments are
already well filled. Six of these ten
buildings are used for cattle alone, and
last night more than 325 head of cattle
were stabbed in the six buildings. The
eXhitorS are as follows: Cosgrove Live
Stock company, of lie Sueur, sixteen
head of HerefordS-nine bulls, five
heiferS, and two thoroughbred steers.
OF these Wild Eyes, a gigantic bullock,
aged five years, and weighing 1900
pounds, is perhaps the most notable.
He girtS about nine feet, has horns that
stand out straight from his head, and
is rightly named; for more wicked
looking eye was never planted in any
living thing. Elwell, of Minneapolis,
has a herd of fifteen Herefords from
Pontiac, Mich, some of which are as
tine-loOking cattle as can be desired.
ID. j. Spalding, of Dempster, Oak, has
thirteen head of ShOrthorns, of which
the bull Clarence Erdrie, with weight
of 1880 pounds when fifteen months
old, is perhaps the finest of the herd.
Lady Erdrie and Prairie Belle. two fine
specimens of the ShOrthorn breed. are
also in this herd. Wilcox d Liggett, of
Benson, also have drove of Short
horns. n. Z. Clarke, of st. Cloud, has
Generald Duke, fOur-year-old bull,
weighing $500 pounds, and seven 9TH
ers of the ShOrthor II breed. III. w.
Stone & Co., of Morris, Mimi, have five
English Rolls-Didlington Davy, "A three
year-old COW. weighing 1,400 pounds,
stands at the head of the herd.
w. f. Seymour, of Eyota, have three
GallowaS and nine red English rolls.
Squ:res Il Son, OF Blue Earth city, have
ten head of brown Swiss cattle. Iro-
from Switzerland, is the leader of the
herd. His weight is little over 1880
pounds. Among the half-doZen or more
herds of
HOLSTEIN-FRIESAN CATTLE
are herd of eighteen. belonging E. F.
Irwin, of Wood Lake stock farm, of
which the bull Henrik, two years old
and weighing 1900 pounds, is rather the
finest specimen. George w. French, of
st. Charles, enters Walter Scott, elev-
enth of the same breed. His weight is
nearly 1900 pounds, and a more per-
fectly formed animal, despite his
great size, could scarcely be found.
His age is three years. Wilcox &
Liggett, of Benson, also have herd of
fifteen of observation-disclosures. The bull
weighing 1900 pounds, leads this herd.
j. III. Rhodes enters ten of the same
breed, of which Wild Oscar, two-year-
old, weighing 2,100 pounds, stands at
the head. The name does the animal an
injustice, for although almost masto-
don in size, he is as gentle as spring
lamb. j. g. Wade, the Dakota Valley
herd, Jamestown, OAK, enters twenty
head of this breed. One of the entries
is spring calf named Local Option.
which will be offered for sale at the
close of the fair. and, if sold. the pro-
ceeds are to be devoted to the cause of
local option in Stutsman county. Oak
Leaf Stock Farm, J.T. Elwell, of Anoka,
enters drove OF seventeen, nine
in which are short horns, two Jerseys
enters sixteen head of Jerseys, Hol-
stems and short horns, of which Clar-
endOn, three year old bull of the short
horn breed, is rather the finest of the
lot. The Fumbro Valley herd, A. Har-
rington, looms up with fourteen of the
finest Observation-Disclosures on the
grounds. Of this herd cow and twin
calves took the first prize at Rochester
last week. These calves, now ten
months old, weigh $50 and 730 pounds
respectively. S. Leslie, of Waseca. has
ten head-two thOroughbreds and eight
grades. Lake View farm, near Wa
SEGA, enters seventeen Holsteins-Fries
ians. Pond Bros, of Bloomington, ILL.,,
thirteen head of that stock. Seventeen
creamy, velvet-skinned Jerseys repre-
sent the Fairvale herd, while the Silver
Creek herd. Rochester, has twelve of
the same blood. The Midvale stock
farm with seven Jerseys, and Pond
Bros. with thirteen HolStein- Friesians
complete the list.
